About meI am an Associate Professor at Louisiana Tech University. Before joining Louisiana Tech, I was a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University. My research interests include information theory, distributed consensus, blockchain, and machine learning. I am also the founder of Ocior Inc., a startup focused on innovations in blockchain, AI, and 6G technologies. I am organizing ECE research seminars. If you are interested in giving a talk, please let me know. Check out our paper, where an open problem of Byzantine agreement is solved using coding theory and graph theory. I am also serving as a youth soccer coach. Our team keeps an unbeaten record in all games this season. Check out some of our animated videos for STEM education and outreach. News•   09/2024: New paper OciorCOOL: Faster Byzantine Agreement and Reliable Broadcast, September 2024, e-print, arXiv: 2409.06008. Faster Byzantine agreement and reliable broadcast protocols are proposed. The proposed OciorCOOL reduces one communication round of our original COOL protocol. Additionally, building on OciorCOOL, we design an optimal reliable broadcast protocol that requires only six communication rounds in the worst case and requires only five rounds in a good case (i.e., when all honest nodes input the same message). •   08/2024: My first Ph.D. student Fan Li will be joining Lawrence Technological University as tenure-track Assistant Professor!
